طلاء أظافر

They differ in chemical composition, and its basically the way it dries. Enamel dries from the outside, or "skins", then hardens as the drying agent evaporates. It will dry to a slick, glossy finish with good surface preparation. Lacquer dries from the inside, and leaves a dull finish, until its buffed to a high gloss.

I would use طلاء أظافر and طلاء أظافر ملمع
to distinguish between them.

اخترت تسمية طلاء أظافر أو منكير (الشائع) حتى لا يختلط بطلاء تزيين الأظافر أو صقلها أو تغيير لمعانها وهو بالإنجليزي

nail glitter

وهناك فعلا طلاء تلميع وطلاء تزيين وطلاء تلوين ومادة الأسيتون لمسح طلاء الأظافر

أما
nail polish
فهو ببساطة طلاء أظافر
